My goodness this man is pure Partridge.

I'm sure they tell you they open the gym early for you ...

Also, spends all morning swanning around away from family, expects lunch ready on table at 12pm then at 1.30 "I like to spend time with my four year old son..", but not that much time as at 3pm he locks himself away for "total war saga". AIBU to ask if this would be tolerated by any other normal family ?!

Hardly normal though is he. Nothing about his life is normal. It's just one day.

And actually I kind of admire his honesty.
I can't get worked up about it thh.

good to see he can tolerate that non- verbal autistic child he never wanted, and only for 30 mins less than he games because he enjoys history… what an absolute bellend.

Pandadunks · 08/02/2024 23:43

That bit where the staff at the local gym have to come in early on the weekend so he can swim alone is special… or is it that he I my agreed to to have a kid with this wife if they had staff - oh, sorry, - I meant if his MIL moved in to ‘help’

100% arsehole of the largest magnitude.
either it’s all true = massive arsehole
he made it up to look ‘good’ = massive arsehole

This is the second thread I’ve seen about this on here. I’m not sure I understand what people find quite so outrageous, other than his tone of repellent smuggery.

fiftiesmum · 09/02/2024 00:18

So he reads a book, buggers off to the gym, then buggers off to stuff his face with his secretary, then he stuffs his face at lunch then at 3pm he buggers off to play games. I would tell him to bugger off completely.

Vile little grocer.

Wasn’t there something on Twitter once about him getting cross because someone didn’t use 2 Gs in his name?

FancyJapflack · 09/02/2024 00:46

Aha!

It reminded me of the Orlando Bloom one. You know, where he had to lift weights in order to feel "really exhausted" by the end of the day despite having a baby. And then making sure he gets 8 hours of uninterrupted sleep. Twat.

Reads to me like it was copywritten by someone who really doesn't like him, and was pushing their luck to see if they'd get away with it!

BobbyBiscuits · 09/02/2024 18:06

Haha. it's classic and very good for traffic if you want to avoid the paywall. He is a living bell end though. His dinner at 12 sharp after an hour and a half eating breakfast with his PA (bet she loves Harvester), and his son sounds like a priority. 'Amatuer historian'. NO you play computer games instead of adulting or parenting. I met him once he was a sleaze.

Jovacknockowitch · 09/02/2024 18:07

I couldn't stand him when he did vegtalk, He hasn't improved since. Lord knows how he's made a career out of anything.

His 'team' on Inside the Factory actively despised him, so there could be truth in that.

Someone on twitter noted that it's just about readable and makes more sense if you say 'Parklife' after every sentence.

Stuff his face with his secretary

Please tell me that's an euphemism lolololol

That he only agreed to have a child if his MiL would move in and help and he spends less time with the child than he does on his games? (Agreed some if it is harmless twattishness though, no chance of a male having a 6 pack with 18% body fat)

Show quote history

i mean he's 56 and wasn't really keen on doing it again so i assume that was his compromise.

lots of people will agree terms if they're having extra kids after their grown up kids, they just don't put in the paper. but usually its about who will take off work, or getting in childcare or moving closer to family etc.

thefallen · 09/02/2024 19:43

Plays with the child he didn't want for 90 minutes, then spends twice as long on computer games, sorry, historical research. Cooks one meal a week for his family. Won't do his own housework or child rearing so drafts in his MIL. Utter utter tit.

BobbyBiscuits · 09/02/2024 19:54

@FuckingHellAdele As in every TV producer or journalist he's ever been interviewed by/ worked with has conspired to make him look like a bell-end and it's some sort of cover up. In fact he's sparkling example of all things right with penis owners and he's an ambassador for women's rights?

amusedbush · 09/02/2024 20:06

FancyJapflack · 09/02/2024 00:46

Aha!

This lives rent free in my head and is my go-to example of what a complete walloper GreGG is.

There was a thread about him ages ago and someone said he looks like he smells of ham - I laughed about that for days.

SchoolQuestionnaire · 09/02/2024 20:12

It’s not the first time I’ve heard of a man having dc with a second partner on condition that they have fuck all to do with the dc unless they feel like it. That doesn’t make it any less repellent and I will never understand why women settle for this, even if they are loaded.

WiddlinDiddlin · 10/02/2024 04:05

@FuckingHellAdele I copywrite.. though rarely that sort of thing, I have friends who do. We do sometimes get very bored and fed up of writing tripe for twats or about twats...

Absolutely brilliant. I laughed out loud reading it back again. Thank you!!
